turbo valve covers leaking
I have aluminum 930 exhaust valve covers on my 2.7 liter MFI RS spec.
It leaks from a lot of places  but I was wondering if the Nyloc nuts that were used to secure these valve covers may be contributing to the oil leaking.Is it OK to use Nylocs on exhaust rocker covers?

The nut does not contribute to or stop leaks, gasket does that, check your covers on a surface plate, they may not be flat, I just surfaced a set of turbo covers which were off by a lot.

I agree with Cgarr, and will also add that leaky rocker shafts, or oil return tubes can appear to be a cam cover leak.
